Hari Om Pooja Vastu Bhandar

The shop is tucked away on Old Padra Road in the Simodra area of Vadodara 23. You can usually smell the place before you see it because of all the incense and camphor we keep in stock. Hari Om Pooja Vastu Bhandar is packed with items for every kind of ceremony you can think of. There are brass lamps, colorful powders, and stacks of wooden items everywhere. It’s a bit cramped inside, especially when we get a fresh shipment of Vastu items. I spend a lot of my morning just dusting the small statues because they catch everything. The road outside can get quite dusty too, being a busy part of Vadodara. We have customers who have been coming to us since we first opened up. They usually stop for a chat about the weather or local news while they pick out what they need. The shelves are made of old metal and they groan a bit under the weight of the heavy books and stones. I don't really use a computer for anything except the basic bills. Most of the time, I just know where everything is by memory. It’s a quiet kind of work, mostly. Simodra is a nice enough neighborhood and being on Old Padra Road means we see a lot of different people every day. We just keep things moving and make sure the items are ready for whoever needs them for their home or temple. It is just a normal shop.
